Jim Ross Addresses Rumors Of Kenny Omega To WWE

Posted By: Randy V. Jean on Sep 20, 2018

The rumor mills are in full steam as the discussion as to whether or not Kenny Omega is WWE bound is underway. One person who has decided not to join in all the fun was no other than "Good Ole" JR who believes the NJPW Heavyweight champion isn't headed to Stanford, CT anytime soon.

JR addressed those rumors on The Ross Report, in which you can catch the quote down below:

"I think that Kenny jumping to the WWE is very viable. It could happen; it’s a matter of negotiation. All that matters would be, A) He wouldn’t want to work as many dates as they will make him work. B) He likes to have longer matches, and handle most of his own creative, or at least influence it with his own thoughts. That could all be addressed.

The money is one culprit you want to guarantee. So there’s a lot of things in favor of Kenny going to the WWE that can be negotiated, and can be figured out. For some reason, I just don’t feel that connection right now. I just don’t feel like Kenny is a WWE… he’s an artist, he likes to do things in a very unique way. He wants to leave some legacy behind, other than the fact that Kenny Omega was a wrestler and got rich.

So I don’t feel the Kenny to WWE story, but man, if the numbers are there, it’s hard to say that he would never go to WWE. He’s no spring chicken. Life changing money can be ahead of him. But right now, today as I talk about this, I just don’t have a feel that Kenny Omega is going to WWE anytime soon.”
